Attendee management - Overview

When you first click on the Attendees Panel, you'll see a blank record screen, with sections for Contact details and other modules. 

Once you add or search for an attendee, their record will open. When you return to the Attendee Panel after working elsewhere in your event, you'll see the record for the attendee you looked at most recently. 

You can find an attendee (via the Search, or using the Recent and Pinned Records section), to see an individual attendee's information.

Within each attendee's record, you can manually manage and edit their contact details, and all the information about what they've selected or been added to within various modules: Registration, Accommodation, Travel and more. 

If this particular attendee is also involved in other aspects of your event, such as Presentations (they're a speaker, or reviewer); Exhibitions, Sponsorship, CE courses etc., then you can also see (and usually add or edit) bookings, information, payments, and more for this attendee for those modules. 

Read more about working within modules on an attendee record (Contact, Notes, Marketing, Communications, Registrations, Agenda, Functions, Accommodation, Travel; and possibly also Presentations, Sponsorship, and CE Courses/CE Credits).

Sections of the Attendees Panel

• Recent and Pinned Records - whenever you're working on a record, it will appear in the Recent list on the left side of the screen, in the order selected. You can also "pin" a record to the Pinned section. While viewing a record, by clicking on the Pin Icon to the right of the Attendee name. Your "Pinned" record now appears in the Pinned list, to the left of your Attendee Panel, so you can quickly access it later.  



• Scrolling Records - once you've created your first search, attendee records are displayed. To quickly flip through the attendee records, you can click on the  forward/backward scroll buttons located on the top right of your window.
• Add Contact - selecting this option lets you create a new attendee record directly within this panel, if they can't register online.

More about Attendee Tools

Cancel Attendee

You can cancel all or just some items for this attendee, including:

• Registrations
• Functions
• Accommodation
• Travel
• CE Courses

Choose to either cancel all details, or only selected details. If you only want selected details, tick the boxes next to the items you want to cancel.

Press Start to Cancel.

Name Badge (individual)

This tool lets you select a Name Badge, and then create that badge for the currently selected attendee. 

Choose one of your Name Badges, then press Start to create the badge.

Online Activity Log

This lets you see all online activity for this attendee. The log will show date, time, site details, IP address (if available) and type of online activity. 

Common activity types will be Login and Submit.

PDF Merge Doc

This tool lets you select a Merge Doc, and then create a PDF document of it for the currently selected attendee.

Merge Doc - choose one of your Confirmation or Marketing Merge Docs here.

Press Start to create the PDF.

Replace Attendee 

This tool makes it very easy to replace one attendee with another, simply by filling in the required details and clicking on Replace.

All details and payments are now associated with the new attendee, and the old attendee details are saved in a canceled record so it doesn't get reported in the current event.

Site Auto Login 

Site Auto Logins are links to interactive (registration) sites, Apps or Portals that will automatically log in as the attendee, and populate the form or portal with their attendee's details. 

These links are typically entered in Merge Docs when inviting attendees to click on a link to open a registration form or portal that will have their contact details pre-populated.

This Attendee Tool lets you see sites, apps and portals with the specific attendee's details pre-populated, by clicking on the URL or copying it into your browser. This will open the site or portal, using the Auto Login Token associated with this client.

For example, you can check exactly what your attendee sees when they log in, and update records specific to the attendee as well. Another good example would be to use the link to open the Attendee App so you can see the app exactly as this attendee will see it.
